TPA CD Review: echolyn - i heard you listening

echolyn - i heard you listening

You can read the full TPA Review here

...As intensely interesting as anything they have released previously but, like their last album, showing a more subtle sophistication, the older references are now absent with the corruscating imagination of As The World (one of my favourites by anyone) now developed through time into an idiosyncratic style of songwriting that is an engrossing experience. This is not prog for prog’s sake, the songs take on a unique vision based on the personalities and interactions of the players involved.

i heard you listening is a great modern prog album that even towers above triumphs like echolyn’s 2012 release, the kind of collection that in a better world would be a crossover success and open the band up to a wider audience. As it is we lucky few get to bask in its glory. A long time after they originally came together echolyn are in the midst of a rich vein of form that you’d be foolish to ignore. An essential purchase for anyone who values true talent and a spankingly good song.
